CITY OF CUPERTINO: PU�LIC HEARING to consider establishLnent of precise street plan lines for Stevens Creek Blvd. from Bubb Road to the westerly City boundaries. First Hearing continued. Precise street The Plar.ning Director said this was a continuation of the previous plan lines for Public :iearing on this �atter. He would like to also have it continued 5CB to another meeting. There will tiien be an e:.virenmental report from the staff. Since the last meeting, there have been a number of telephoae conversations concerning the street plan lines and one letter from a prcperty owner w:io lives in Sout?zern California. Notices of this Public Hearing were sent out to all property ot��ners in this area, based on County records. Associate The Associate Engineer gave a general revie;.T of the previous meeting ingineer `s on this matter . Th�re :��ill be a 120' right-of-�aay fro�� Bubb Road to report Foothill Blvd. and 86' right-of-way from Foothill Blvd. to the City li::lits. From Bubb Road to Byrne tzere will be 6 lanes with median. Fro� Byrne to Foothill, present thinking is for 4 lanes ���ith a 40' �edian. If, in th2 future, 6 lanes are needed the median �aill be reduced in width to acco;umodate th� extra t;ao lanes. Frc� Foothill Blvd. to the City limits there �oill be a two-lane road with parking and landscaped median. Signals �vill be located at Bubb Road, Orange Avenue, Phar Lap Drive, and Foothill �lvd. The worst condition is , in the area of Carmen Road. At do.:nto;an '_�ionta Vista the choice has to be made to either take the buildings on bot� sides or to veer slightly to the south and take only those buildings. Rational� for In answer to Comm. Nellis` question, the Traffic Erg�neer said we need :�ore lanes four lanes right now, based on currer.t traffic couats, and it is anticipated we will need the 6 lanes with f ive years. We tiaill need the four lar.es from Foothill 31vd. to Byrne easily ;aithin the next 5 years. Pea'_K hour, eastbound traffic is currently 625 on the existing one lane. Dou�ntown ��lonta Comm. Gatto asked how riany lots would become nonconforming due to the `Jista will be new plan lines. The Associate Engineer said ;�e t,�ill be taking enough taken of the downtown Monta Vista prapErties to make them useless. The excess may be made into park areas or landscaped op`n areas. Guidelines The Associate Engineer said the .^..ain purpose of the grecise str�et plan �e.eded lines at this time is to provi�'e guidelines for development as it takes place. MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 30, 1972 PLANNING COr�1ISSI0N MEETING PC-75 Page 3 Comm. 0`Keefe asked if any alternatives to taking the south side of downtown had been studied. The Associate Engineer. said the alternative would be to take both sides. Chairman Buthenuth thinks tnat Cupertino Road should be aligned Carmen Road to come out at a ri�ht=angle intersection some place around intersection Carmen Road. The Public G?orks Department wil.l study this possi- bility. Comm. Nellis said there will need to be a lef t turn as well as a Lef t turn f ro�_: right turn onto Stevens Creek Blvd. from the park. park needed Chairman Buthenuth asked for comments from the audience. Attorney James A. Frost, 11247 Colur:ibus Court, Cupertino, said his Inoress/egress reriarks were on behalf of ��r. Eric Nelson, Proprietor of Blackberr to Blackberry Farms. He noted �aith interest the provision for si�nals at Orange Farms Avenue and at Phar Lap Drive. The ingressjegress to the restaurant an� golf course would be near Phar Lap Drive. It looks as though 10 - 12' would �e taken from their parkino area. He would liice to have attention given to the possibility of left-turn lar.es and signals in this area. An additional proble� is one of access to Blackberry Farm picnic grounds. He noted there �aas no provision for signals or a break in the �edian at Byrne Avenue, :ahich would seriously impair ingress%egress to the picnic grounds. It would also put picnic grounds traffic on resi3ential streets in that area. He asked for consideration of signalization at Byrne or some type of frontage road so pe�ple could get off Stevens Cree� � Blvd. at Byrne, which would eli�inate the need for numerous directior,al signs. The Associate Engineer said that at this point, Engineering's intentior is to cut off Byrne Avenue. Mr. Bernard G. Ponseggi, 22350 Cupertino Road, ?°Sonta Vista, asked One homeo�,mer`s if they will have comriercial property in bac� of them. He asked concerns what happens to the value of the homes that will eventually have t be removed. He asked for justification of the need for 6 lanes and median since the free�aay extension has taken much of the load off Stevens Creek Blvd. He would like to see no access from Cupertino Road to Stevens Creek Blvd. He said most of the acciden s on Stevens Creek B1vd. have been due to drunken driving. He asked if the zoning in that area is going to be increased. The Planning Director said these re�:arks will be taken into consideration. He does not envision strip commercial along here. PC-75 MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 30, 1972 PLANNING CO:�IISSION MEETING ° Page 4 ' Don`t change Mrs. Robert Brokaw, 10081 Carmen Road, protested the lack of communication character of on this matter. She said Monta Vista is an older town �oith a little bit the area of history and should be left alone. If this road is widened all the �Permanente trucks will be using it. It will just make it easier for the people who want to zone cor.li to do so. It is countrylike up there now and is a great place to raise children. She asked that the open space there be left alone. She said she will be interested in hearing about the environmental impact study. She asked what LAFCO caill have to do �aith the Planning Com^iission decisions. The Planning Director said LAFCO has no effect on the City's study or setting of future plan lines. She then asked if any thought had been given to a cutoff from Highway 280 to the foothills. The Planning Director said that if and when thp Catizolzc Church develops, additional accesses will be needed. Mrs. �rokaw also asked about the possibility of a - relocation program for the pe�ple in :�Zonta Vista who would be "wiped out" . The Planaing Director said this :nost certainly c:Till have to be done. ve traffic Mrs. Brokaw asked what would happen to the property ��;-here presently problems on �there is a row of small houses along th� road parallel to Stevens SCB. �Creek Blvd. near Byrne Avenue. The Planning Director said this property �migizt be rezon�d to multiple residential. Sne then asked c.�here a�l i th�s development is taicing place that �::akes the street ��idening necessary. ` 'The Planning Director said tnere is not going *o be tiiat much develop;nent in the hills, based on our Open Space Element and ttie ti��llside Co:r�ilittez istud�es. i•iaryknoll and the Catholic Church have been worKing on ;development plans for several years.

Bill �assett, 102I1 Mira Vista Avenue, said hp T��as at the previous needed �Public Hearing. He asked if a study nas been done, based on 4 lanes. The Associate En�ineer said Eng�n�ering advises 6 lanes and 4 l�nes farther west, as poin�ed out earli�r. �Zr. Lassett questioned the advisability of putt�ng in 6 lanes anywhere if there is not going to be heavy commercial along here, as is found on Stevens Creek Blvd in San Jose 1 suggested they cut er:penses and leave L4onta Vista as is. The Traffic Engineer said R1 generates 10 trips p_r day per unit. As you get into multiple ann com*nercial this rate ?ncreases.
